MAX ADLER, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.

CORSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,228, dated February 1, 1881.

Application filed May 6, 1880. (ModeL) T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAX ADLER, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Corsets 5 and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, and represents a side view of the hip portion.

This invention relates to an improvementin the method of staying the hip-sections of the corset, the object being to preserve the proper shape over the hip-joint and yet prevent the wrinkling of the corset and breaking of the bones in that part; and the invention consists in the construction, as hereinafter described, and particularly recited in the claim.

A B represent the two parts of the hip-section, between which is avertical stay,\C. On the part A, and at the edge next the stay C, a gore-piece, D, is introduced, extending from about midway of the length of the part A to the bottom, its front line curved forward and downward. In the gore D pockets are made, curved according to the curve of the front edge, and stays or bones placed in these pockets, which give to the stays a corresponding curvature. On the front edge of the rear section, B, is a similar curve-shaped gore, E,'and is in like manner provided with curved pockets and bones, curving from the central stay, C,

backward and downward to the lower edge of 3 5 which would be given by an inclined series of 5 stays and a transverse crossing series of stays in the same section.

I do not broadly claim a series of stays in a hip-section of a corset curved downward and forward, as such I am aware is not new; neither do I broadly claim a vertical hip-stay connected with a series of stays running forward and backward from it, as such Iain aware is not new.

I claim- A corset having the parts A B of the hipseotion provided with a vertical stay between them, and a series of bones or stays running from the rear of said vertical stay in a curved line backward and downward to the lower edge, and a like series from the front of said stay curved forward and downward to the lower edge of the corset, substantially as described.
